OK, who's up for this? It's this Saturday. http://www.redbullairrace.com/ Summary: "The competition features a dynamic new discipline of flying, called 'air racing' where the objective is to navigate a challenging obstacle course in the sky in the fastest possible time. Pilots fly individually against the clock and have to complete tight turns through a slalom course consisting of specially designed 20m high pylons, known as 'air gates'. The Air Race is not just about speed but also precision. The slightest mistake can result in penalty points." Admission is per vehicle rather than per person. I'm going in a car with 4 seats, and I've had a cancellation, so there's a place free. We'll be leaving from Watford mid-morning, and returning in the evening, probably after a visit to Chateau Monotreme. Email me but also reply here, because I'm not convinced my UKRM addy's working properly. -- <8P Wizard Suzuki GS550 "I like that.

Nearly said yes, but decided it would be an idea to check the weather first. It's going to be absolutely pissing down on Saturday.
SteveH () says... In Wales, maybe. Yahoo says in Swindon (nearest I could find) 'light rain'. I'll be keeping an eye on the webshite as the time gets closer. -- <8P Wizard Suzuki GS550 "I like that.

I'm booked. 4 in t' car, but I reckon 2 of 'em will be heading off to look at lions or summat. Lots of stuff happening before the races begin at 2:00pm-ish, so I'm heading down early doors. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
